The material, which dates from c1974 to 2008, consists of a study of local history in the second half of the nineteenth century with particular focus on Castleisland. Most of the research was conducted during the last decade of the twentieth century – the threshold of the revolution in new technology. Cataloguing commenced in Castleisland, Co Kerry on Monday 18 May 2015 from an office premises in Main Street, enabled by the support of the local and business communities including Crageen Employment Ltd. During the cataloguing process, now completed, a number of books, photographs and other materials were acquired or purchased and form, as a separate entity, part of the overall collection. Those items, which number 29, are documented in this catalogue.

Ed. Thesis presented for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) National University of Ireland, Cork Supervisors: Professor Patrick O’Flanagan, Department of Geography Mel Mercier, Department of Music September 2009 Submitted to National University of Ireland, Cork 1 Abstract The geography of Irish traditional music is a complex, popular and largely unexplored element of the narrative of the tradition. Geographical concepts such as the region are recurrent in the discourse of Irish traditional music but regions and their processes are, for the most part, blurred or misunderstood. This thesis explores the geographical approach to the study of Irish traditional music focusing on the concept of the region and, in particular, the role of memory in the construction and diffusion of regional identities. This is a tripartite study considering people, place and music. Each of these elements impacts on our experience of the other. All societies have created music. Music is often associated with or derived from places.

  • The Fiddle Music of Connie O'connell
    THE FIDDLE MUSIC OF CONNIE O'CONNELL Sheila Randles Masters of Arts University of Limerick Supervisor: Dr. Micheal 0" Suilleabhain Submitted to the University of Limerick, May 1998 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Title: The Fiddle Music of Connie O'Connell Author: Sheila Randles This is a study of an Irish traditional fiddle-player, Connie O'Connell, from Cill na Martra, Co. Cork. Connie has been strongly influenced by the main musicians of Sliabh Luachra, an area which encompasses the West Cork and East Kerry border. In particular, he has been influenced by the renowned fiddle-players of the region - Denis Murphy, Padraig O'Keeffe and Julia Clifford. Today, he is widely considered amongst the traditional music community as one of the present-day exponents of this style, and is well known for his extensive repertoire. This thesis examines the fiddle music of Connie O'Connell within the context of the Sliabh Luachra fiddle tradition. It also examines the extent to which that tradition has changed and how this change is manifested in Connie's music. The Introduction outlines my reasons for embarking on this project. It also details the approach adopted in examining Connie's music and the manner in which his position within the Sliabh Luachra fiddle tradition has been evaluated. Chapter One is a brief biographical study of the musician in context. His repertoire is examined in Chapter Two and is related to that of his predecessors. The notion that polkas and slides are the dominant tune-types in Sliabh Luachra is challenged in this chapter. Aspects of melodic and rhythmic variation are examined in detail in Chapter Three, while Connie's bowing style is also discussed here.

  • Fieldtrip Reflections: Sliabh Luachra and Corca Dhuibhne Daithí Kearney and Michelle Finnerty1
    Fieldtrip reflections: Sliabh Luachra and Corca Dhuibhne Daithí Kearney and Michelle Finnerty1 For the past four years, students participating in the Early Start „Music in Ireland‟ programme at University College Cork2 have undertaken a fieldtrip to Sliabh Luachra and Corca Dhuibhne to explore the musical heritage of the area and the connections between music, place and society. This year the students departed on Saturday 4th September, accompanied by fieldtip co-ordinator Dr. Daithí Kearney. The students come from a number of North American universities and have limited prior experience of and exposure to Irish culture. The following article is a reflection on the fieldtrip and provides an insight into the rich musical heritage of Cork and Kerry. As we pulled away from UCC, we headed towards Blarney. The imposing grotto at Shanakiel reminded students of the role of religion in Irish society, a point reinforced as we travelled many of the country roads that presented not only grottos, many of which dated from the Marion Year in 1954, but also the sites of former dance halls, many of which relate to the passing of the 1935 Dance Halls Act. As we drove towards Mallow, the students availed of the opportunity to enjoy the rolling green hills and listen to examples of music from Cork and Kerry. The music included recordings of Jackie Daly and Séamus Creagh. Later in the journey we listened to recordings of Sliabh Luachra fiddle players Pádraig O‟Keeffe, Denis Murphy and Julia Clifford. To the north of Mallow is the village of Buttevant, the location of the first steeplechase in 1752 and from where, according to local legend, Napoleon‟s horse „Marengo‟ came (bought from a Kerryman!).
